for Infants and Children.

through the woods and over the hills We
rode for some miles without going off the
plantation. We came to a great cavern in
the side of the hill, we rode into it on our
horses and saw goodly stream OF water
there and the ruins of an old dam within
the cavern where a grist mill had once
been run by this underground stream
Then we rode back to the house by an
other road than the one we had come on
through more woods and by more negro
quarters.
The evening was taken up with inter
esting conversation. Our hostess told in
most interesting manner about the old
times on the plantation, when every one
was happy about the abundance of good
things, when $50 fat hogs were killed
every fall to be used on the place when
as girl her father travelled five weeks
in his carriage to take her to the railroad
by which she could reach boarding
school in the North of the return after
five years of continuous absence, and The
delight of the servants at seeing young
miss" again. War "reminiscences, told
without a twnge Of bitterness, were re
lated. On the following morning, bright
and early the family, including all the
house servants, assembled an the broad
verandah to see us off and as the road
wound through the great grove, we had a
parting view of as hospitable,a scene, the
great house, the broad pazzas, the noble
trees and the kind family yet watching us
off, as it often falls to mortal eyes to see.
Before closing something ought to be
said about the heat in this far Southern
State but the truth is we haven't had
any to speak of. Aside from few hot
days in June the weather has been so cool
| here that we have wondered if the re-
ports about heat in the North could be
| true. w. f. FOREST.

RUTLAND VS.. BURLINGTONs.
The Former Win to 4 After IA Closely
Contested Game.

RUTLAND, July 25.-One of the best and
most exciting games of the season was
played here this afternoon. 1t was won
by the home team by score of to 4.
The grounds were in poor condition,
owing to the heavy rain which slackened
up only long enough for the game to be
played. In consequence the attendance
was not large. The home team made one
score In the first inning on two Dagger
by Daley and McGuirk's tumble of Car
rigan's hit. In their half of the inning the
visitors rolled up four runs on singles by
Edmunds and Bowen, two-bagger by
Granville, a passed ball and a tumble by
Madigan. For the rest of the game they
were BANKED In the fifth the home team
added three runs to their score on hits by
Davis, Perren. Say and Madigan and a
wild pitch, and in the seventh. Hanra-
hans error and Corcoran's hit gave them
another which won the game.

A Romance in Und erhllI.

A romance in real life has occurred in
the town of Underhill. a Frenchman in
an adjoining town upon his death-bed
sent for young woman, whom he had
called his daughter and confessed that
she was not in reality bound to him by
any tie of relationship. He further stated
that she was stolen from her parents
when quite young, that hey surviving
relatives were well-to-do American peo-
pie, and gave substantial evidence to
prove his assertions. The lady was at
once received and acknowledged by her
newly-tOund relatives and just share of
inheritance was made over to her.

During the hearing before the railroad
committee at Concord, documentary ev-
dence was put i'll relating to the sale of the
Sullivan County road by the Northern rail
road directors in 1850, that the Vermont
Valley railroad paid the committee of the
Northern road $500 900, only 800, 600 of
which reached the treasury of the Northern
road. The then president of said Northern
road, Henry c. Sherburne, sailed for Eu-
rope about the time the loss of the 300, 600
was discovered, and although earnestly re
quested to return and testify in relation to
the sum in question he had failed to do SO
a commission was issued to take his Sher-
burne's testimony in London and counsel
appointed to attend them, but Mr.. Sher-
burne failed to appear and testify. The
interesting question as to what officer of the
Northern road could explain the mysterious
disappearance of the 300, 600 was this left
unsolved.
1t is reported at Ottawa that the Grand
Trunk railway will try to reach the Pacific
and will apply to the British Columbia legis-
lature at its next session for a franchise for
railway through the Yellow Head pass and
through to Esquimal. The Yellow Head
pass is about 100 miles north in the Rockies
from where the Canadian Pacific railroad
crosses the mountains, Connection will
likely be made east of the Rockies with
some system of railways independent of the
Canadian Pacific railway.
The chairman of the inter State commerce
commission has announced the decision of
the commission in the case of the Provi-
dence Coal company against the Provi-
dence and Worcester railroad. The com
plant covers three main points. The com
mission decides that the allowance of re-
bate to parties who ship more than 30, 900
tons year is unwarranted and invalid.
The commission also decides that the charge
of higher rate upon shipments from Proyi-
dence than upon those from East Provi-
dence is also unwarranted and invalid.
The third point relating to charge of
eight cents for street hauling, is decided to
be matter with which the commission can
not deal,
o. Lincoln of Pittsburgh, has been ap-
pointed postal clerk on the Albany and
Rouse's Point route, and runs between
Albany and Rutland succeeding F. Fred
erlcks of Albany, who has been transfer
red TO the Susquehauna division.
The railroad commissioners have decid-
ed that st. JOhnsDury and territory along
the line of the lake road belongs to the
Burlington coal dealers and hereafter local
merchants will have to buy at Burling-
ton instead OF Maquam, as heretofore.
This Is trlhe incanyenient for this place
as the Burlington and Lamoille road has
not the facilities for handling coal. An
other effect will be to take away the prin-
clpal business from Maquam -CdlcdO-
ntan.
